The West Greeley Project is a transformative initiative spanning 22 square miles, designed to provide a mix of uses for our community, including neighborhoods, industrial and commercial areas, agricultural land, river corridors, and natural spaces.

As part of Greeley’s continued efforts to grow thoughtfully and sustainably, City Council approved targeted funding in April 2025 to support the creation of a new entertainment district at the western edge of the city. This strategic investment aligns directly with Greeley’s long-term vision to diversify the local economy, enhance quality of life, and foster vibrant, connected neighborhoods.

A part of the West Greeley Project features a 300-acre public-private partnership in the western part of the city, encompassing two developments:

Catalyst (city-led entertainment district): At the core of this development is the city-led Catalyst project—a Greeley-owned entertainment district that will feature a professional sports arena, three sheets of ice for youth hockey, a year-round indoor water park, a conference hotel, and a vibrant public plaza. Catalyst is designed to serve as a regional destination and ignite further development and revenue generation across West Greeley.

Cascadia (private mixed-use community by TWVC): Surrounding the Catalyst project is Cascadia, the name of The Water Valley Company’s (TWVC) large-scale mixed-use community. This community will include new neighborhoods, parks, trails, retail, dining, and office spaces.

Together, these projects are creating a live-work-play environment aimed at long-term success and regional attraction. Through careful planning, infrastructure coordination, and leveraging partnerships, the West Greeley Project reflects the City’s priority to develop in a smart, balanced way—growing outward while honoring where we began. It is a tangible example of Greeley’s commitment to being a place where history and progress live side by side.
